Nokia Lumia 928's Camera Takes On Galaxy S III and iPhone 5

Nokia has released a new video comparing the camera on its forthcoming Lumia 928 to the Samsung Galaxy S III and iPhone 5. Shocking absolutely no one, the results heavily favor Nokia's device but the video is worth a gander nonetheless. Nokia has put a lot of stock in their smartphones' imaging prowess and the Lumia 928 seems to perform admirably on a roller coaster in New York's Adventureland amusement park in low light settings.

The PureView camera is similar to the one on the Lumia 920, boasting 8.7 megapixel resolution and Nokia's vaunted optical image stabilization. Both the Galaxy S III and the iPhone 5 come equipped with 8 megapixel rear-facing cameras and the specs are pretty evenly matched between the two (with the S III beating out the iPhone 5 in terms of screen resolution - 1,280x720 to 1,136x640).

In the side by side comparison video, the Lumia 928 takes the iPhone 5 to town in terms of color saturation and image focus. When compared to the S III, Nokia advertises the Lumia 928's noise reduction and clarity. Bear in mind, the video is an ad for the Lumia 928 and not an impartial test but if it's at all accurate, then the Lumia 928's PureView camera is definitely worth talking about.
